ਮਃ ੩ ॥

mahalaa 3 |

Third Mehl:

ਮਨਮੁਖ ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹੁ ਹੈ ਨਾਮਿ ਨ ਲਗੋ ਪਿਆਰੁ ॥

manamukh maaeaa mohu hai naam na lago piaar |

The self-willed manmukh is emotionally attached to Maya - he has no love for the Naam.

ਕੂੜੁ ਕਮਾਵੈ ਕੂੜੁ ਸੰਗ੍ਰਹੈ ਕੂੜੁ ਕਰੇ ਆਹਾਰੁ ॥

koorr kamaavai koorr sangrahai koorr kare aahaar |

He practices falsehood, gathers in falsehood, and makes falsehood his sustenance.

ਬਿਖੁ ਮਾਇਆ ਧਨੁ ਸੰਚਿ ਮਰਹਿ ਅੰਤੇ ਹੋਇ ਸਭੁ ਛਾਰੁ ॥

bikh maaeaa dhan sanch mareh ante hoe sabh chhaar |

He collects the poisonous wealth of Maya, and then dies; in the end, it is all reduced to ashes.

ਕਰਮ ਧਰਮ ਸੁਚ ਸੰਜਮ ਕਰਹਿ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਲੋਭੁ ਵਿਕਾਰੁ ॥

karam dharam such sanjam kareh antar lobh vikaar |

He practices religious rituals, purity and austere self-discipline, but within, there is greed and corruption.

ਨਾਨਕ ਜਿ ਮਨਮੁਖੁ ਕਮਾਵੈ ਸੁ ਥਾਇ ਨਾ ਪਵੈ ਦਰਗਹਿ ਹੋਇ ਖੁਆਰੁ ॥੨॥

naanak ji manamukh kamaavai su thaae naa pavai darageh hoe khuaar |2|

O Nanak, whatever the self-willed manmukh does, is not acceptable; in the Court of the Lord, he is dishonored. ||2||
